Richard Webber illustrates the Lifestyles of the super-rich in Edwardian Highgate – “Then and Now; Great Houses from past Highgate”.
The Mansions of Highgate Ridge
A talk by Richard Webber: Sun, July 8, 2018 7:00 PM. Book on eventbrite. Limited space so booking essential!
This is the story the Great Mansions of the Highgate Ridge, and the visionaries who lived in them. Using seldom seen material from the HLSI archives, the lecture focuses on the lifestyles of the early owners of these houses and the pioneering reforms for which many of them fought. Now that London has because a location of choice for the global rich, the lecture considers what we can learn from the similarities and differences between the lifestyles of the new occupiers of these mansions and those who lived in them a hundred years ago.
Professor Richard Webber was one of the lead researchers on the recent ESRC project, on this topic. Professor Webber is Visiting Professor at University of Newcastle. He is the originator of the Acorn and Mosaic systems which classify people by the neighbourhood in which they live and is a long term resident of Highgate.

Mark Nevin – Community Fundraiser Gig
presented by irrational theatre
written by Nikolai Gogol
As the lights flicker….it’s 1979 in Worsborough Dale.
A letter arrives…
…announcing the arrival of a government inspector, incognito, and ready to root out the town’s rampant corruption, which sends the crooked council chairman and his bureaucrats into a panicked frenzy.
A web of lies and bribery follows in this comic satire of a small town’s utter madness, shadiness and self delusion.
Nobody is free from the taint of ravenous self-interest, bureaucracy, buffoonery and more. Their actions are held up to scorn and ridicule in this hilarious yet moral tale.

Lucky Eric, Judd, Les and Ralph are the original men in black as they tell the tale of one night in a disco in the 80’s in this outrageous parody of Saturday Night Fever! All the gang are out on the town, the boys, the girls, the cheesy DJ, the late night kebab man and the taxi home, all under the watchful eyes of the Bouncers.
